Just wanted to make sure, (not that I remember any talk besides my own wishful thinking) Hasbro isn't doing a joe scale Jem line. I recently saw a poster for the movie. Potential head swaps would have cleared out those baroness/lady J packs

It would seem very unlikely. Certainly hasn't been any announcement, and with 4"'product in decline on toy shelves I really don't see Hasbro trying to expand that market with a girls-targeted franchise.

I continue to be shocked this is even a "thing" on collectors' minds.
The original line was a large scale doll line, the girl toy segment is predominantly doll items, prior "action figure esque" girl lines haven't done terribly well, so why would anyone think Hasbro would be doing something like this with Jem?

If there is a toy line it would be Jem dolls. It's not very likely.

Well I think as a fan of both properties and a fan in general I think most fans have a hope that properties can mix and intermingle.
Would I like to see a 4" Jem line? Yeah kinda would. 1) I would love to display two properties together...much like MASK, or Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, or the recent Joe / TF crossover stuff (tell me you didn't want that Shockwave HISS to transform?). 2)...ANYTHING to help Joe...I mean if Jem was to make 4" figures in a similar design to how Joe figures were articulated yes we could make customs and parts swaps and such, but I think we would hope those molds would show up in Joe as well and give us some more female characters. Will it happen? Highly doubt it...in fact I highly doubt the film is even gonna make back what it cost to make it. Now this next part I want to preface this by saying...I have sat thru both Joe films and all four TF films and with each one I can honestly say while it wasn't the product I knew and grew up with I found each film enjoyable for what it was (well except maybe TF4). But the point is like unlike most long time fans I didn't VIOLENTLY HATE films that took a fresh spin on a beloved property. And up until the trailer I was really looking forward to Jem. Key words...UNTIL...THE...TRAILER. And I'm not the only one...the backlash has been astounding. And we're hearing that they spent very little money on making this film. So I doubt there is ANY toy line being made for it let alone in a scale not previously done for product. |

Oh let me clarify. I couldn't care less about Jem or the movie. I would however buy like crazy if (and big if) they were joe scale and articulation. Jem and the band and the manager would be people to rescue from Cobra and the Misfits would have been girl Noks.
